Memory foam has a number of distinctive qualities and is made from visco elastic foam. Pushing a complete memory foam mattress will trigger it to comply with the shape of the body; but it will later return to its initial form, thus the term "memory foam". NASA first made it roughly 40 years back, but as production prices fell it appeared to the basic population in the early 1990s. Since then it has delighted in substantial appeal.
The memory foam mattress topper was the earliest item provided openly, but it did not take long before the complete memory foam mattress was selling like hotcakes, too. Due to its quality, it ended up being a best-selling item on the mattress market. As sales grew, other items were developed and marketed. Today, there are so many other foam items available that the buyer can quickly get baffled trying to choose which one may be best for them. In addition, we have the latex mattress making it a lot more difficult to come to a decision.
The majority of the confusion with foam is a result of a great deal of firmness levels and densities that are on the market. Density is the weight of a 1-cubic foot area of memory foam. If a 1-cubic foot area weighs 5 pounds it has a density of 5 pounds. Typically, if the foam is denser it will have a longer life expectancy; but it will not feel as soft.
Firmness is defined as an ILD score. ILD means Imprint Load Deflection and is the quantity of force essential, determined in pounds, to cause a 1-inch imprint in the foam. Determining the Imprint Load Deflection is done by taking a 50-inch disc and placing it on top of a piece of foam that is determined at 4 inches by 15 inches by 15 inches.
Snoozing on a basic spring bed will trigger a boost in the quantity of pressure on particular areas such as the hips or shoulders. A foam mattress will expand the weight of an individual more uniformly and over a larger area. This will decrease the degree of pressure in any certain area, which can result in a more tranquil siesta and less joint discomfort.
Among the drawbacks to a memory foam mattress is the expense. The costs of these kinds of beds can be quite costly. This is why the memory foam mattress topper is so favored, because it is a lot less expensive than a full-sized bed and can be put on top of your existing bed. In spite of this, because of their slimness they will typically break quicker. If you are unsure about spending the additional money to buy a complete memory foam mattress you can get going with the topper to see if you like it. If you are satisfied with the topper you can always take the next action and get the foam mattress, saving money by looking for the best mattress sales.
Memory foam maintains heat, and this is the reason some people do not care for it. When someone rests on a foam mattress it will at first feel stiff. Later on, when the heat from the person is moved to the memory foam, it will begin to soften. This will cause it to comply with the curves of the body. The foam listed below the heat will stay cooler and less soft, supplying lots of support, while the warmer foam will be softer, providing more comfort.

Product Description
A truck can be converted to run on water by putting in an electrolysis gadget. The function of the gadget is to extract the hydrogen gasoline (H2) from water. We know that water is an item of 2 components hydrogen and one particular portion oxygen. By working electrical energy via water in the electrolysis gadget, hydrogen gas bubbles will be designed. The idea is to vent the H2 into the engine air consumption system even though rubber bracelets hoses. When the truck is running, the engine will suck in air and the hydrogen gas with each other. The H2 will be diverted into the combustion chambers and mixed with diesel fume. The finish outcome is a smoother and more powerful explosion as a result escalating the engine energy output.
One of the undesirable points of escalating bio fuel production is the quantity of land that is going to be essential to grow the oil making plants that are needed. Concern has been raised that farm land previously utilised for food manufacturing will be used for fuel manufacturing, and this will lead to foods price inflation, or at worst food shortages that will impact establishing nations.

Chinese Manufacturing Output in 5 Month High
July data showed that manufacturing sector operating conditions deteriorated at a slower rate, as factory production rose – for the first time in five months – and new business decreased at a weaker pace.
Inventories of inputs also fell to a weaker extent, while supplier delivery times shortened at only a marginal rate. However, manufacturing
employment declined at the sharpest rate in over three years.
After adjusting for seasonal factors, the HSBC Purchasing Managers' Index™ (PMI™) posted 49.3 in July, up from 48.2 in June, signalling only a marginal deterioration in Chinese manufacturing sector operating
conditions. Moreover, the month-on-month increase in the index was the largest in 21 months.
Manufacturing production in China increased during July, ending a four-month period of contraction. Despite reaching a nine-month high, the index measuring monthly trends in manufacturing output was at a level indicative of only a marginal rate of expansion.
Another decline in the volume of new business placed at China's goods producers was signalled by July's survey. The pace of reduction in new work was only modest, however, and the weakest in three months. New export business also decreased at a slower rate.
Latest survey findings signalled a renewed rise in work awaiting completion, although the rate of backlog accumulation was only slight.
Meanwhile, companies continued to reduce their staff numbers during the month, with the pace of job shedding accelerating to the sharpest in 40 months. Manufacturers commented on employee retirements, company downsizing and the need to streamline workforce numbers in response to falling new order volumes.
Average vendor lead times shortened in July, for the third month running, although the rate of improvement in supplier performance was marginal.
Meanwhile, a further decline in purchasing contributed to a reduction in stocks of pre-production goods. However, the rate of inventory depletion was the slowest in the current eight-month period of decline.
Average input costs faced by manufacturing firms decreased for the third successive month in July, mainly reflecting lower raw material prices. Companies also mentioned reduced prices paid for fuel.
Despite easing slightly from one month ago, the rate of reduction in average costs remained sharp. Consequently, companies passed on reduced costs to clients through lower average tariffs.
Some respondents also mentioned competitive pressures. The pace of output price discounting was steep, albeit slightly weaker than in June.
Hongbin Qu, Chief Economist, China & Co-Head of Asian Economic Research at HSBC said: "Final manufacturing PMI confirmed only a modest improvement of manufacturing conditions thanks to the initial effect of the earlier easing measures.
"But this is far from inspiring, as China's growth slowdown has not been
reversed meaningfully and downside pressures persist with external markets continuing to deteriorate. We still expect Beijing to step up policy easing in the coming months to support growth and employment."

The recent dip in mortgage rates has been a boon for community banks.
As low interest rates continue to pressure margins and net interest income, a spike in mortgage banking volume — fueled by refinancing activity — has provided a welcome boost for banks that sell their originations.
Several bankers, pleased that refi activity padded first-quarter results, were quick to caution that they aren't counting on refinancing levels remaining elevated going forward.
"When refinance comes around, that's extra for us," said Steve Brolly, chief financial officer at Fidelity Southern in Atlanta. Brolly said that he expects refinancing activity to decelerate in the second quarter, though purchase volume should benefit from a seasonal lift.
"It all depends on what happens in the secondary markets," said Lynne Pulford, mortgage division manager at Sandy Spring Bancorp in Olney, Md.
Banks with $40 billion or less in assets, on average, increased noninterest income by 11% in the first quarter compared to a year earlier, based on American Banker's preliminary analysis of earnings reports from nearly 180 banks.
Bankers, by and large, would prefer to see interest rates move up, since spread income often accounts for three-fourths of a community bank's revenue. But every bit of fee income helps, particularly in a quarter where mortgage revenue is seasonally slow.
"We'd give up some mortgage fees to get a rate increase," Phil Wenger, chief executive of Fulton Financial in Lancaster, Pa., said in an interview. Still, he agreed that having added fee income helps as the industry awaits some upward movement in rates.
Lower mortgage rates are a function of broader trepidation about the economy, industry observers said.
"We continue to see lower rates due to concerns over weaker economic growth abroad," said Joel Kan, associate vice president of industry surveys and forecasting at the Mortgage Bankers Association.
The average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dipped as low as 3.59% in early February, and has since edged up to 3.65%, according to a weekly survey from Freddie Mac. Rates on 15-year loans also fell over the period.
At the same time, refinancing has increased, as consumers have taken advantage of the opportunity to reduce payments. Refinancing accounted for 59% of February's originations — or more than double the share of new loans from six months earlier, according to mortgage data from Ellie Mae.
Refinancing levels are expected to remain high into the second quarter, as applications from the first quarter continue to pull through, Kan said.
That would be welcome news to bankers since rates aren't budging much.
Mortgage finance loans nearly doubled at Texas Capital Bancshares in the first quarter compared to a year earlier, to $3.7 billion, largely due to a late-period surge in refinance volume, Keith Cargill, the Dallas company's chairman and chief executive, said.
Such activity "lifted our volumes significantly in what could've been an otherwise softer seasonal quarter," Cargill said during a conference call to discuss quarterly results.
Fidelity Southern also benefited from heightened refinancing activity. The $3.1 billion-asset company's quarterly earnings beat Wall Street expectations in the first quarter, in part because of higher fee income.
Noninterest revenue jumped 65% from a year earlier, to $32 million, and mortgage banking revenue more than doubled. Refinancing accounted for 41% of the first quarter's loan production at Fidelity Southern, compared to 22% a year earlier.
Fidelity is "seeing an increase in the level of refinanced loans," said Brady Gailey, an analyst at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, adding that some momentum is expected in the current quarter. "We are still in the middle of a refinance boom."
The $4.4 billion-asset Sandy Spring Bancorp also benefited from borrower demand for refis. Noninterest income increased 17% from a year earlier, to $13.2 million, featuring a nearly threefold increase in mortgage banking activity.
Most of Sandy Spring's originations came from refinanced loans, Daniel Schrider, the company's president and chief executive, said during the company's earnings call last week. Nearly 75% of the company's mortgages were refinancings, compared to 45% a year earlier, Schneider said.
"On the positive side, originations drove a significantly higher level of revenue for mortgage banking activity," Schrider said. "It was more refi activity that drove our mortgage performance and gains, as opposed to new home sales or construction originations."

After a mild Game 3, fans and players will face a turn to damp and cooler weather for Games 4 and 5, respectively, at Wrigley Field in Chicago.
The Cleveland Indians took a 2-1 lead over the Chicago Cubs after winning a mild Game 3 on Friday night. Games 4 and 5 at Wrigley Field will determine whether a champion is crowned in Chicago or if the series returns to Cleveland on Tuesday.
The first pitch for Game 4 is slated for 7:08 p.m. CDT on Saturday evening.
Game 4
Saturday evening will bring the return of damp conditions to Chicago and Wrigley Field.
Following the passage of a cold front, moist air flowing in from Lake Michigan will lead to numerous clouds and patchy drizzle developing during the game. Steadier and moderate rainfall will hold off until after midnight.
AccuWeather Meteorologist Mike Doll expects the rain intensity to be light, and "there is a 60- to 70-percent chance Game 4 will be completed without a delay."
"Though, fans should plan on bringing a waterproof jacket or poncho."
After batters failed to take advantage of the gusty winds that would have carried deep-hit balls to the warning track or beyond, winds will be less favorable for batters on Saturday evening.
"Winds on Saturday night will blow in from center field at 6-12 mph," Doll said.
The slight wind will also usher in cooler air, but it will still be mild by late-October standards. Temperatures will be in the lower 60s for the game's first pitch before falling to the upper 50s.
Temperatures in the upper 50s are more common during the warmer afternoon hours this time of year in Chicago.
Game 5
Rain gear will not be needed for Game 5 as any rain starting on Sunday will depart Chicago by the midday hours.
High pressure will then build overhead for the evening hours, promoting dry weather and continuing to usher in seasonably cooler air.
"Of the three World Series games at Wrigley Field, Sunday night's game will feature the coolest conditions," Doll said.
However, temperatures will still be 10 degrees Fahrenheit higher than the chill both teams experienced during Game 2, when a first pitch temperature of 43 F was recorded.
Fans will not want to leave their jackets at home or in hotel rooms as temperatures should slowly fall through the lower 50s underneath a partly cloudy sky.
A slight wind will hold AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures to the upper 40s.
The winds will once again favor the pitchers over the batters on Sunday evening, according to Doll. "Winds will blow in from right field at 6-12 mph."
Cleveland weather outlook
If Chicago wins either of the remaining games at Wrigley Field and the series returns to Cleveland, mild weather awaits fans and players at Progressive Field.
Warmer air will surge back into northern Ohio for the first two days of November. Temperatures will rise 10-15 degrees above normal to afternoon highs in the lower 70s.
Temperatures each evening of Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to be in the 60s with the prospect of rain low.
A south to southwest wind ushering in the mild air would help to carry any fly balls deeper into the outfield or the stands.

Officials found toxic blue-green algae in the area, located in the southwest corner of the lake.
The algae can harm both pets and people. The public should avoid drinking or swallowing the water during swimming and other water activities. Pets should also be kept away from that section of the lake. The toxins cannot be killed by boiling.
Other sections of the lake did not show high algae contamination.

Vigilante Diaries" is a high energy, dark graphic tale of one man's task to clean up the streets... and another man's task to get it all on tape. The series, created and written by Paul Sloan, kicks off inside the pad of Michael Hanover (Mewes), the sole heir to Hanover Enterprises, raised in mansions and hotels but with a true passion for filmmaking. One day Hanover crosses paths with a real-life vigilante crime fighter loose in Los Angeles (Sloan) and - seizing his opportunity to make it big - begins shooting a documentary alongside all the gunfire and bloody mayhem. Completing this dark superhero cadre are vigilante protégé "The Kid" (Kevin L. Walker), "Jade" (Jacqueline Lord), and "Red" (Jessica Uberuaga).
"'Vigilante Diaries' is a totally original series that brings to life that classic dark and gritty look from the best graphic novels and first-person shooters combined with Jay's natural talent for comedy," said director Christian Sesma. "These first few episodes are just the first taste of what is really a love letter to video game snipers, action film nuts, and comedic fans of Jay's past work. We've got all the bases covered with lots of laughs alongside guns, girls, and gore."

We were extremely proud to have been invited (alongside some really great designers) by Design Manchester and the legendary Malcolm Garrett to submit a personal graphic interpretation of the sleeve for Buzzcocks' 1977 single Orgasm Addict.
Malcolm's brief — 'Keep it simple. Fun. Bold. Square. Yellow and Blue.'
Referencing Malcolm's original Buzzcocks' work where he took what is usually something a record label would place no importance on (e.g. a catalogue number) and turn that element into the main 'design element', Michael (Build's Creative Director) took the idea of the colour break-down and registration marks as the main design element. Stepping and repeating the marks are intended to reference the song.
All submissions will be exhibited throughout DM17 and will be displayed in some of Manchester's most iconic buildings — including The Refuge at The Principal Hotel, the window of Fred Aldous, PLANT NOMA and the O2 Ritz Hotel during the Buzzcocks' gig on 19th October in the City.

There's a Human Rights Crisis Happening Right Now in Myanmar
The Background
The United Nations is finally intervening after fighting in Myanmar sent more than 8,700 refugees fleeing into Bangladesh this past weekend. Most of those seeking refuge are members of Myanmar's Muslim minority, Rohingya, a group that's been caught in the crossfire between security forces and militants who call themselves the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army. The infighting mounted when the office of the country's de facto leader, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, accused international aid organizations of supporting terrorist organizations (which is clearly not true). New York Times
What Else You Need to Know
Tensions have been escalating between Myanmar's government and the UN since October 2016, when insurgents attacked police border posts in the state of Rhakine. Since then, things have been getting worse in the region, with officials targeting Rohingya in retaliation for the October attacks. Though officials called it a "security crackdown," reports suggest it involved a lot more vicious criminal activity than simply keeping the peace. Eighty thousand Rohingya fled to Bangladesh immediately after the so-called "security crackdown" and told horrific stories of "summary executions, mass rape and villagers being burned alive in their homes." The UN's concern is that the more recent exodus is an indication that similar activity is happening in Myanmar right now.
What's Next?
The UN believes the behaviour of said security forces are within the government's control, and is calling on Myanmar's leadership to set out clear rules against using "disproportionate force" and that those who do so should be held accountable. The UN's Human Rights Watch is also trying to put pressure on Myanmar's government to get to the bottom of what's happening across the country.

Improved Subdual

Shield Focus
Subtle Spell
Team Fighting
COPYRIGHT 2001, B. Marcus Lindberg, Scott Metzger
You move around in a certain type of armor without effort.
Proficient with armor, base attack bonus +1 or higher
When wearing a specified type of armor it inflicts 1 less skill penalty and the maximum Dex bonus is raised by one. This cannot reduce the penalties to sub zero levels.
You can gain this feat multiple times. The effects does not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of armor.
Balance: 4.60 (Purp 4.75, Pow 4.75, Port 4.50, Comp 4.50, Rule 4.50)
[Item Creation, Creature]
COPYRIGHT 2001, Scott Metzger
You know how to create Aberrations, Beasts, Magical Beasts, Monstrous Humanoids, and Plants.
Knowledge (Arcana) or Knowledge (Psionics), Knowledge (Nature), Spellcaster level 5th+ or Manifester level 5th+
You can create any Aberration, Beast, Magical Beast, Monstrous Humanoid, or Plant whose prerequisites you meet. The creature created is not necessarily under your control. To create a creature you need access to a lab, similar to an alchemist's lab, of at least 500gp value. The creation of a creature involves taking a similar creature or creature(s) and subjecting them to various spells and grafting techniques. There is a chance that the experiment will be a failure. To create a creature you must succeed both a Knowledge (Arcana) or Knowledge (Psionics) and a Knowledge (Nature) check (DC 20 + CR of attempted creature). You may not 'take 10' on these rolls. However, you get a +1 circumstance bonus for every attempt at a specific creature that you have previously made, whether successful or not. If both Knowledge skill checks are failed the creature dies a horrible death. If one Knowledge skill check fails and one Knowledge skill check succeeds the resulting creation is horribly deformed in some way and is hostile towards you.
The base price of a creature is the challenge rating squared times 1000gp (CR x CR x 1000gp). Creating a creature takes 1 day for every 1,000 gp in its base price. To create a creature, you must spend 1/25 of its base price in XP and use up raw materials costing half of its base price.
The minimum caster level for creating a creature is 2 x CR of the intended creature. The appropriate spells must be used in order to add extraordinary (Ex), spell-like (Sp), and/or supernatural (Su) abilities.
If a Charm Monster spell is cast every day of the creation process, a successfully created creature will be in permanent servitude to you. If a Limited Wish is used in the creation process a successfully created creature will be in permanent servitude to you and will even follow a life goal, determined by you, after you have died. If a Wish is used in the creation process a successfully created creature and its descendants will follow a life goal, determined by you, even after you have died.
Balance: 3.96 (Purp 5.00, Pow 4.20, Port 4.00, Comp 3.00, Rule 3.60)
Characters should be encouraged to create their own unique magical beasts and not just create another Owlbear, Tendriculos, Mimic, or Skum. If the creature is a new creature the DM should determine the CR.
COPYRIGHT 2001, Scott Metzger
You really know how to subdue opponents.
Proficient in a bludgeoning weapon.
When attacking with a bludgeoning weapon and attempting to do subdual damage you do not incur the usual penalties for attempting to do subdual damage. Also, the weapons threat range is doubled when dealing subdual damage.
Balance: 4.15 (Purp 4.00, Pow 3.75, Port 4.50, Comp 4.00, Rule 4.50)
[General, Defense]
COPYRIGHT 2001, Scott Metzger
Shield Focus
Your shield's armor bonus is increased by 1 when you wield it.
Balance: 3.75 (Purp 3.50, Pow 3.75, Port 3.75, Comp 4.00, Rule 3.75)
COPYRIGHT 2001, B. Marcus Lindberg, Scott Metzger
You wield in a certain type of shield without effort.
Proficient with shield, base attack bonus +1 or higher
When wielding a specified type of shield it inflicts 1 less skill penalty and 5% less Arcane Spell Failure. This cannot reduce the penalties to sub zero levels.
You can gain this feat multiple times. The effect does not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of shield.
Balance: 4.65 (Purp 4.75, Pow 4.75, Port 4.75, Comp 4.50, Rule 4.50)
COPYRIGHT 2001, Scott Metzger
You know how to disguise the use of material, verbal, and somatic components; thus making your spell casting difficult to recognize.
Spellcraft skill.
When you cast a subtle spell those who could observe you must make a Spot check opposed by your Spellcraft check to identify that you are casting a spell. A subtle spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell's actual level.
Without this feat spell casting is automatically recognized as spell casting.
: Casting a subtle spell still draws an attack of opportunity. If the person taking the attack of opportunity fails the opposed Spot check they still get the attack of opportunity but do not know why you let your guard down.
Balance: 4.16 (Purp 4.60, Pow 4.00, Port 4.20, Comp 4.00, Rule 4.00)
COPYRIGHT 2001, Scott Metzger
You know how to fight as a pair, group, and in formation.
Base attack modifier of +1 or better.
Two or more people can fight together as a team. The team members block and parry blows for each other. Team members also work together to open up opponent's weaknesses. Team members need to be within each others threatened area and every team member needs to have the feat. Each person having Team Fighting gets a +1 to hit bonus and a +1 Armor Class bonus. Also, if two people have Team Fighting they can switch carried items as a free action. This would allow one person to reload a Heavy Crossbow or Repeating Crossbow while the other fires, thus one character could fire the Heavy Crossbow every round while the other guy is loading.
Balance: 4.20 (Purp 4.50, Pow 4.25, Port 4.00, Comp 3.75, Rule 4.50)
This feat can be used to model the extra effectiveness of Swiss pike men, Monks fighting together, or Athenian bonded battle partners.

In some of his sharpest language to date, Pope Francis condemned global violence against Christians on Thursday in a letter to the vicar of the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Archbishop Maroun Lahham.
In his letter, the Pope decried "the atrocious, inhumane and incomprehensible persecution" of the many "victims of fanaticism and intolerance" throughout the world, especially among Christians.
Francis said that this active persecution is often carried out "before the eyes and in the silence of all." He called the victims "today's martyrs, humiliated and discriminated against because of their fidelity to the Gospel."
The Pope called for a change in global public opinion, urging that society become more "attentive, sensitive and actively engaged in the face of the persecution carried out against Christians" and other religious minorities. He also begged that "the international community not stand by mute and inert in the face of this intolerable crime, which is an alarming departure from the most basic human rights."
Francis also wished to assure the victims of religious persecution that "the Church does not forget and does not abandon her children exiled on account of their faith," and promised them that "A daily prayer is raised for them, along with gratitude for the witness they offer us."
He thanks the communities that care for these brothers and sisters for choosing "not to look the other way."
"May the Lord reward you, as only he can do, with the abundance of his gifts," he said.

February 06, 2012 07:34 ET
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Feb. 6, 2012) - Lone Pine Resources Inc. ("Lone Pine" or the "Company") (TSX:LPR) (NYSE:LPR) today announced the Company's year-end 2011 estimated proved reserves prepared in accordance with SEC rules and an update from the fourth quarter of 2011. Selected highlights include:
Estimated Proved Reserves
Lone Pine reported estimated proved reserves of 401 Bcfe at December 31, 2011, which were 53% proved developed and 26% liquids. The present value of the estimated future net revenues from estimated proved reserves before income taxes at December 31, 2011, discounted at an annual rate of 10%, was US$701 million. The pricing utilized for the estimated proved reserves at December 31, 2011 was based on a 12-month average of the 2011 first day of the month Henry Hub price for natural gas and West Texas Intermediate price for oil of US$4.15 per MMBtu and US$96.13 per barrel, respectively.
The following table summarizes Lone Pine's estimated proved reserves and related PV-10 value as at December 31, 2011. The reserve estimates at December 31, 2011 are based on an independent evaluation conducted by DeGolyer and MacNaughton ("D&M"), Lone Pine's independent reservoir engineering firm, in accordance with the rules of the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In prior years, D&M performed an audit of the Company's reserves. In preparing its 2011 evaluation, D&M evaluated 100% of Lone Pine's properties at December 31, 2011.
PV-10, a non-GAAP financial measure, is an estimate of the present value of the estimated future net revenues from estimated proved oil and gas reserves at a date indicated after deducting estimated production and property taxes, future capital costs and operating expenses. The estimated future net revenues are discounted at an annual rate of 10% before giving effect to income taxes to determine their "present value." PV-10 generally differs from standardized measure, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, because it does not include the effects of taxes on estimated future net revenues. Lone Pine uses PV-10 as one measure of the value of its estimated proved reserves and to compare relative values of proved reserves among exploration and production companies without regard to income taxes. Lone Pine believes that securities analysts use PV-10 in similar ways. Lone Pine's management believes PV-10 is a useful measure for comparison of proved reserve values among companies because, unlike standardized measure, it excludes future income taxes that often depend principally on the characteristics of the owner of the reserves rather than on the nature, location and quality of the reserves themselves. Lone Pine is unable to provide a reconciliation of PV-10 as of December 31, 2011 to standardized measure at this time because final income tax information for 2011 is not yet available.
Lone Pine plans to release proved and probable reserve information determined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 51-101 in late March 2012.
Fourth Quarter 2011 Update
Average Daily Sales Volumes
Lone Pine's average daily net sales volumes for the fourth quarter of 2011 were 98.8 MMcfe/d, which matched the third quarter of 2011 volumes. Lone Pine's average daily oil and NGLs net sales volumes for the fourth quarter of 2011 increased 27% to 4,499 bbls/d, compared to 3,544 bbls/d in the third quarter of 2011 as the average net liquids percentage increased from 22% to 27%. Average net sales volumes for the fourth quarter of 2011 from Lone Pine's Evi light oil area increased by 34% to 3,605 boe/d, compared to 2,680 boe/d in the third quarter of 2011.
The following table details the components of average daily net sales volumes for the three months ended December 31, 2011, September 30, 2011, June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:
Preliminary Fourth Quarter 2011 Financial Results
Lone Pine is providing certain preliminary unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter of 2011. Lone Pine has prepared the preliminary data below based on the most current information available to management. Lone Pine's no rmal closing and financial reporting processes with respect to the preliminary data have not been fully completed. As a result, the Company's actual financial results could be different from this preliminary financial data and any differences could be material.
Lone Pine estimates that capital expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2011 were approximately $74 million and total capital expenditures for 2011 were $355 million. The increase over the previously guided 2011 total capital expenditure range of $329 million - $339 million reflects an acceleration of completion activities on additional wells drilled at Evi late in 2011 as well as certain unbudgeted expenditures related to the Company's Pointed Mountain project in the Liard Basin.
Lone Pine expects that total production expense per unit for the fourth quarter of 2011 will be approximately $1.90 per Mcfe. The increase in production expense relative to previous quarters reflects an increase in workover expenses in the fourth quarter of 2011 combined with an increase in lease operating expenses relating to the Company's growing crude oil volumes. As previously stated in connection with the release of the Company's 2012 capital budget, Lone Pine expects 2012 production expense to be $1.80 - $1.90 per Mcfe as crude oil volumes continue to expand.
As of December 31, 2011, Lone Pine had US$325 million (CDN$331 million) outstanding under its existing CDN$425 million bank credit facility.
Lone Pine plans to release full audited 2011 financial results in late March 2012.
Forward Looking Statements
This news release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Canadian securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, that address activities that Lone Pine assumes, plans, expects, believes, projects, estimates or anticipates (and other similar expressions) will, should or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements provided in this news release are based on management's current belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events. Lone Pine cautions that future natural gas and liquids production, revenues, cash flows, liquidity, plans for future operations, expenses, outlook for oil and natural gas prices, timing of capital expenditures, and other forward-looking statements relating to Lone Pine are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties normally incident to their exploration for and development and production and sale of oil and natural gas.
These risks relating to Lone Pine include, but are not limited to, oil and natural gas price volatility, its access to cash flows and other sources of liquidity to fund its capital expenditures, its level of indebtedness, its ability to replace production, the impact of the current financial and economic environment on its business and financial condition, a lack of availability of, or increase in costs relating to, goods and services, environmental risks, drilling and other operating risks, regulatory changes, the uncertainty inherent in estimating future oil and gas production or reserves, and other risks as described in the registration statement that Lone Pine filed with the SEC and the final prospectus dated May 25, 2011 that Lone Pine filed with the SEC and securities regulatory authorities in Canada, and the other reports that Lone Pine files with the SEC and with Canadian securities regulators. Any of these factors could cause Lone Pine's actual results and plans to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.
Prices for Lone Pine's products are determined primarily by prevailing market conditions. Market conditions for these products are influenced by regional and worldwide economic and political conditions, consumer product demand, weather, and other substantially variable factors. The cost of services and materials needed to produce Lone Pine's products are also determined by prevailing market conditions, both regional and worldwide. These factors are beyond Lone Pine's control and are difficult to predict. In addition, prices received by Lone Pine for its liquids and gas production may vary considerably due to differences between regional markets, transportation availability, and demand for different grades of products. Lone Pine's financial results and resources are highly influenced by this price volatility.
Estimates for Lone Pine's future production are based on assumptions of capital expenditure levels and the assumption that market demand, prices for liquids and gas, and the cost of required services and materials will continue at levels that allow for economic production of these products. The production, transportation, and marketing of liquids and gas are complex processes that are subject to disruption due to transportation and processing availability, mechanical failure, human error, and meteorological events. Lone Pine's estimates are based on certain other assumptions, such as well performance, which may vary significantly from those assumed. Therefore, Lone Pine can give no assurance that its future results will be as estimated.
Units of Equivalency
This news release discloses certain information on an "equivalency" basis with oil and NGL quantities converted to Mcfe (thousand cubic feet of gas equivalent) or MMcfe (million cubic feet of gas equivalent), and natural gas quantities converted to boe (barrel of oil equivalent) based on a conversion ratio of one bbl of liquids to six Mcf of natural gas. Units of equivalency such as Mcfe, MMcfe and boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A Mcfe and boe conversion ratio of one bbl of crude oil or NGLs to six Mcf of natural gas is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Although this conversion ratio is an industry accepted norm, it is not reflective of price or market value differentials between product types.
Disclosure of Reserves Information
All estimates of proved reserves and related future net revenue disclosed in this news release have been prepared in accordance with applicable SEC rules. Estimates of reserves and future net revenue made in accordance with SEC rules will differ from corresponding estimates prepared in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators (NI 51-101) and, pursuant thereto, the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook, and those differences may be material. Further information regarding differences between reserves estimations and reporting requirements applicable under SEC rules and those applicable under NI 51-101 is provided in Lone Pine's final prospectus dated May 25, 2011 filed with the SEC and Canadian securities regulators.
Lone Pine Resources Inc. is engaged in the exploration and development of natural gas and light oil in Canada. Lone Pine's reserves, producing properties, and exploration prospects are located in Canada in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, and Quebec and the Northwest Territories. Lone Pine's common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol LPR.

Name: Torin Yater-Wallace
Country: United States
Age: 22
Sport: Freeskiing
Discipline: Halfpipe
2016/17 AFP halfpipe ranking: 6th
- 5-time X Games halfpipe medalist (2 gold, 2 silver, 1 bronze)
- 2012 AFP halfpipe champion
Olympic experience
Four years ago, Yater-Wallace was one of Team USA's most promising medal hopefuls in ski halfpipe. But he got injured during the one of the selection events, and though he still made the Olympic team as the coaches' discretionary selection, he wasn't at full strength in Sochi and fell on both of his qualifying runs. He finished 26th out of 28 skiers.
Olympic outlook
Yater-Wallace is still a threat to win any contest he enters, including the upcoming PyeongChang Winter Olympics. That can be said about quite a few halfpipe skiers in the field though, including several of his U.S. teammates.
When it comes to amplitude in the halfpipe, Yater-Wallace is one of the best. He boosts massive, crowd-pleasing airs and can throw huge double corks.
Ski beginnings
The Aspen native started skiing before he even reached his second birthday. He progressed into mogul skiing when he was 7, but changed his focus to halfpipe and slopestyle five years later as freeskiing grew in popularity. He began to garner a considerable amount of attention at age 14 after winning the Free Flow Tour, a former amateur series that served as a springboard to the pro ranks, in 2010. That qualified him to compete on the Winter Dew Tour the following season.
Breakout moment
Yater-Wallace earned his first X Games invite in 2011. In front of his hometown crowd in Aspen, the 15-year-old put down an impressive run to earn a silver medal. It marked the first major podium result of his career.
History-making moments
In 2012, Yater-Wallace became the first skier to land a switch 1800 — a big trick that involves taking off backwards, spinning five full rotations, then landing backwards — in a slopestyle run. Despite that, he has competed in slopestyle contests very rarely since then, instead focusing on halfpipe.
Since Sochi
Though Yater-Wallace had already experienced his fair share of injuries, it was a medical diagnosis in 2015 that presented him with his most serious challenge yet. After checking himself into a hospital because of flu-like symptoms, the doctors discovered a gall bladder infection and liver abcess that was caused by a strep infection. He spent the next 10 days in a medically-induced coma before waking up, 20 pounds lighter but determined to make a comeback. It was two months before he was cleared to ski again, but it didn't take long after that for Yater-Wallace to return to form with a halfpipe victory at X Games Oslo in February 2016.
2016/17 season recap
Yater-Wallace only competed four times last season, but he did come away with two notable victories. In February, he topped the podium at the Mammoth Grand Prix, which served as the first U.S. Olympic selection event for ski halfpipe. Two weeks later, he claimed victory in PyeongChang at the Olympic test event that was held there.
Off the snow
In the summers, Yater-Wallace enjoys skateboarding. He started dating Olympic ski jumper Sarah Hendrickson in 2014.
"That was a pretty big bummer. But, you know what, you get hurt sometimes. The stars don't align. And it's all good. I went on to still have success at other events. So after all the hype, it was a pretty big bummer. But you live on, you get over it. But for sure that'll always sit in the back of my mind. So luckily I'll get some more shots and hopefully go to this Olympics, and as long as I do better than 26[th] and don't collapse my lungs, that'll be pretty great." — Torin Yater-Wallace on his struggles in 2014 and his hopes for 2018

Well, it has officially started...NaNoWriMo2010...well, not the writing, but the getting ready to write. We now have our badges and we will have word counts posted soon. I can't wait, I must admit, I have met the most wonderful group of writers online and from my region. I am looking forward to our write-ins and other activities as the month progresses and we start writing our novels.
I am working on my synoposis and will be posting it soon. Working title, "Just Once" and having a great time building character sketches and outlining subplots...

Just wondering if I am the only person with this problem. The interior reviewer has not worked for me (on three separate titles I have uploaded) for about three weeks now. I have contact CS several times but have yet to see any changes to the glitch...
You need to have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player installed. Google it, download it, install the latest version and try again. Good luck.
I wish it were that simple (though I did do that just to make sure).
Everytime I upload a file, it takes forever to upload and then comes back with this message:
We weren't able to run our automated print checks on your file.
Our formatting specialists will check your file once you submit it for review. For now,
The problem being, of course, that I want to check and tweak my own work. And usually have to do so a couple times before I get it how I want it. As I said, I contacted CS about it (several times) but it's still an issue. I was just wondering if I was the only one...
Well, if it's been going on for about three weeks now then I am pretty sure that it's a problem with either your system or else the file you are uploading is corrupted in some way or something. Are you uploading a PDF file?
I have not uploaded anything in the past 3 weeks, but I come to the forum every single day and this is the first time I've seen this problem - in other words, nobody else has mentioned it.
Please tell us what you are uploading and how you created that file and maybe somebody else will have a better idea of what the problem might be.
It has not worked for me too. It opens but nothing happens when I put button "get started".
I can`t do anything, even closing reviewer doesn`t work.
New flash player is already installed. I also have tried different browsers and files, but iusse stays the same. :/
Just to add my voice to those saying that the Interior Reviewer is not working... It simply won't load, in my case. I've downloaded the latest Adobe Flash thing. Infuriating.
Interior Reviewer not working for me either. Just comes up with a black screen when I click the link to edit my file. Used to work last year. Updated Flash too, and no difference.
Hey guys,
Just wanted to update.
After MONTHS of back and forth with CS who pretty much couldn't ever give me an answer or told me there was no problem, I finally got an email from some angel named Andres who suggested that my files were too complex. At first, that seemed ridiculous to me because I have always used Scrivener with files converted to PDF on CS. But, I was willing to try anything to make this process less tedious so I went ahead and tried his advice to simplify the file. What worked for me was to not convert to PDF but to do RTF or DOCX. As soon as I did, the upload worked and the interior reviewer came right up.
The only thing I can think that changed was I recently changed from a PC to a MAC and that Scrivener files on MAC are just too much for CS in PDF form.
I hope this can help some of you as well.
Same here. I uploaded it as a DOC file. It says:
Your web browser does not currently support Flash Player 10.2, which is required to open Interior Reviewer. For instructions on how to get Flash Player, go here.
---Current version of Flash at that location is ver. 22.214.171.124. It says my system is up to date.
The DOC file is a template file from Create Space. How are you supposed to publish if you cannot see the errors it reports?
Hi, I am having the same exact issue. I've tried this on 3 different computers, too. All say the same exact thing about Flash being out of date. I have the absolutel latest version of Flash on my system. I've reported it and haven't heard a peep from them. Very frustrated.
Hi - v sorry to hear that you are experiencing the same problem that I did.
In my case, I complained to CreateSpace, downloaded the latest flash thing as instructed, complained to CS again when it still didn't work - and then it worked...
So I guess my only advice would be to keep complaining until it works. Good luck!
If uploading a doc or rtf file worked and trying to upload a PDF did not . . . be aware that the PDF CS makes will not always match what your file.
Also, if you used .otf fonts (e.g. arial.ttf versus MinionPro-Regular_0.otf) which you can in Word, the fonts won't embed in the Word file. So if you upload a doc with Minion Pro, CS will try to substitute their fonts. They have some and nowadays they will try. This can be disastrous.
My sense is that you got terrible advice, but it worked!
Bleeds, free, 91 page guide to bleeds, margins, covers, and annotated CreateSpace guidelines. Prepress Glossary: free, 79 page, fully illustrated prepress glossary with annotations for CreateSpace users Type & Typography: free, 112 page illustrated guide to designing books, typography, with glossary, and type specimen pages Free: list of free PDF downloads; Contact for graphics, design, and typesetting help.
It also happens to me whenever I use Internet Explorer. So I simply switch to Opera (now it's ver.45.0 in my case), and it works without a hitch. FYI: some minor version of Opera 44.0.xxx used to have the same problem: it was incompatible with the latest and properly installed Adobe Flash. A simple update of the browser cleared everything. IE, however, is much more stubborn, and I still can't make it work with the Interior Reviewer...
Flash Player Help has access to the Flash version tester and instrutions for enabling it in various browsers. If Flash is enabled in IE but isn't functioning, see if ActiveX filtering is activated and de-activate it. If you are having trouble with the installer, save it to a file, then close all browers before running the installer. Verify that all browsers are closed, not just running in background, in Task Manager > Processes.
I don't know why the browser you're not installing the Flash add on must be closed, but when I tried to update the Flash ActiveX control for IE, it wouldn't allow me to do it with Firefox running, even though Firefox uses NPAPI plugins.
I had the same problem and none of the suggested solutions worked. I was running the very latest Flash Player on Chrome, but nothing worked
I went here
and checked the "Allow sites to run Flash"
As often is the case, the solution was so simple in the end.

Fort Foote Civil War Ruins is a 1.7 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Fort Washington, Maryland that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and birding and is best used from April until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
dog friendly
kid friendly
nature trips
wild flowers
Civil war bunkers, cannons, building and views! The perfect Civil war park without the crowds. Plenty of huge cannons to defend Washington on the Potomac river entry. Lots of cannon emplacements, interpretive signs, and real civil war bunkers! The ammo dump is currently off limits. There are great water views with a building by the water, and a short half mile hike to a view of the bridge crossing to Alexandria. This park is definitely a hidden jewel.
Nice views of the water. Saw some deer. Civil War cannons. But, a lot of trash on the river.
Mosquitos! Swarms of mosquitos!
Decent trails for a quick quiet walk. I went with my dog in the middle of the day on Saturday, and didn't see another soul. Much more peaceful than the packed trails at Great Falls with the same breeze from being next to the water, and not too strenuous. No outstanding views or waterfalls, but you can peek over the edge down to the river to see some boats and and see National Harbor in the distance. Planes fly over head regularly which made for some cool pictures. Unfortunately, there was quite a bit of glass on the trails headed down to the water. We didn't have any issues, but I think I'd be more cautious bringing my dog next time.
Cool piece of history in the woods. Whoever made the map is fantastic
not so fun
Peaceful but lots of trash
Ruins are fun to explore. This park feels somewhat forgotten, and there were many elements about it that seemed rather creepy.
There are a lot of barely-used trails here so, despite its small size, there's a lot of potential to explore.
Great views of DC and VA.
Easy hike for children, though perhaps best to avoid some of the more overgrown areas.
The Potomac washes up a lot of trash on the beach, which can be either sad or interesting, depending on your mindset.
5 stars for the great civil war ruins and cannons!

Another new feature of Photoshop CS5 is the Refine Edge funtion which will definitely become one of my best friends soon. Anyone who has ever struggled with masks, channels and selection tools to cut a model loose from the background knows what I mean. There are several samples of this new function on Youtube (judge for yourself).

Adobe CS5 Launch
Yesterday I attended the launch presentation of Adobe Photoshop CS5 which I've been waiting for impatiently for the past couple of weeks. We've all seen the content aware fill sneak preview video but now there was more: enhanced lens correction, the refine edge tool, sophisticated HDR, natural distortion and a Bridge style file browser within the Photoshop application window. For those considering the upgrade: what's the preferred package? Just Photoshop or the Design or Production package? With the video capabilities of modern camera's, making my own movies with Premiere is very tempting (included in the Production package with Illustrator and Flash)!

In a long piece at ESPN, Jayson Stark criticized Major League Baseball for avoiding the pitfalls besetting the NFL and the NBA as players dive into liberal political causes and insisted that baseball should be used as a platform to drive social politics.
Stark begins his article noting that some baseball clubs warn players that if they start talking politics, they should mentally prepare for a backlash from at least half their fans no matter what political stance they take.
"The platform of the baseball player is a very powerful one," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman says in a video shown to players. "It's a free country, and you can always utilize that platform whenever you so choose. But just know, when you choose to do so, what the potential ramifications are."
Cashman also cautions players that if they choose to jump into the world of politics, swimming in that pool means "no lifeguard" and they will likely swim against the tide.
The New York Yankees aren't the only team to remind players that using baseball for politics could be problematic. But, those warnings fall flat for ESPN's Stark. "Is 2017 the time for a new code of conduct?" Stark writes. "Is it time for a more socially aware culture — in this, the sport of Jackie Robinson?"
Clearly Stark thinks the era of Trump is worse — or at least as bad — as the days when African Americans did not have equal rights.
Stark next brings MSNBC reporter Chuck Todd into his piece. Todd, evidently a big baseball fan, has written on the topic of politics in baseball. But, even Stark had to report Todd's conclusion that baseball is about "escape" instead of a political battlefield.
Todd also notes that baseball didn't "heal anything."
"That's why I look at baseball as more of an 'escape' than a 'heal' … unless some players stand up and decide to heal," he said.
Stark, though, is quite unhappy that baseball is the one major sport that leaves politics at the ballpark's doors. He seems to want baseball to wallow in the same controversies visited upon the NBA and the NFL as players continue to speak out on liberal politics.
But has the extreme politics of the NBA and the NFL been a boon to their respective sport? The NFL, for instance, has lost fans and seen TV ratings crash since quarterback Colin Kaepernick began his anti-American protests by refusing to stand for the national anthem. In fact, it has become so bad that the drop off in ratings and the loss of advertising money has been called "the Kaepernick effect."
The saturation of politics in sports has also affected sports organizations outside the big professional leagues. ESPN, for instance, has been losing up to 10,000 subscribers a day as the cable network continues its drive toward left-wing politics. Customers of the sports cable network grew so upset and vocal about the liberal politics infused with its sports coverage that the network's ombudsman felt it necessary to investigate the complaint. The result did nothing to assuage customer's worries.
For his part, though, ESPN's Jayson Stark seems utterly oblivious to these problems as he urges Major League Baseball to put its game on the back burner in order to jump into the arena of politics to attack Donald J. Trump.

The jewel in the crown of the South-West
Establishment of Local Tourism Organisation (LTO)
The Warren Blackwood Alliance of Councils have recently appointed a Steering Group made up of industry representatives to investigate the development of a Local Tourism Organisation (LTO) for the Southern Forests and Valleys Region. The establishment of the LTO is dependent on the steering group recommendations to the WBAC.
The proposed LTO would act as a peak body for all tourism stakeholders in the regions. The aims of the LTO would be to create a sustainable, prosperous and healthy tourism industry; to attract more visitors to our region, celebrate our culture and offer a quality visitor experience.
The key functions of the proposed LTO are:
• Marketing
• Visitor Services
• Industry Development
• Product Development.
The industry representatives on the steering group are:
• Stuart Hutchinson (Chair) from The Truffle & Wine Co. (Shire of Manjimup)
• Tracey Hodgkins from Southern Dirt. (Shire of Bridgetown-Greenbushes)
• Christine King from Blue Sky Retreat. (Shire of Bridgetown-Greenbushes)
• Roger Purnell from Emporium Bistro. (Shire of Bridgetown-Greenbushes)
• Wendy Eiby from Pemberton & Northcliffe Visitor Centres. (Shire of Manjimup)
• Mark Hudson from Pemberton Camp School, Eucalyptus House and Pemberton Visitor Centre. (Shire of Manjimup)
• Diane Ness from Nannup Valley Chalets. (Shire of Nannup)
• Heather Walford from A Taste of Nannup. (Shire of Nannup)
• Leon Buckley from Nannup Bridge Café. (Shire of Nannup)
Collectively they represent visitor services, accommodation, tours and attractions, retail, hospitality, events and agri-business. There is an excellent skill set on the steering group and a vast amount of experience within the tourism sector.
On the steering group, there are also an ex-officio representative from the WBAC three shires as well as ex-officio representative from:
• The South West Development Commission
• Australia South West
• Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions
• Western Australian Aboriginal Tourism Operators Council
The Steering Group for the LTO meet once a month and look forward to updating you with their progress.
To enable the steering group to keep you up to date with their developments, we ask that you visit www.sfvta.com.au and submit your contact details. The LTO can be contacted through any of the steering group members listed above or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
LTO Feasibility Study - The Future of Tourism
Regional Visitor Servicing Business Plan
The Warren Blackwood Alliance of Councils (WBAC) is a Voluntary Regional Organisation of Councils representing the Shires of Bridgetown-Greenbushes, Manjimup and Nannup. It was formed in 2001 following the restructure of the timber industry to work as a collective body on issues affecting those areas in the Warren and Blackwood catchments.
The WBAC exists to help develop a prosperous and sustainable region in the Warren Blackwood and to improve the quality of life for residents in the area. The WBAC acts as an advocacy group by supporting or undertaking significant projects relating to promoting economic development and diversity and encouraging regional population growth.
We aim to highlight and progress key issues that have a regional impact and to be a voice for the Warren Blackwood area. We aim to lead the way in partnership development, relationship building and progressing projects by establishing a respected reputation with key stakeholders
The Board of the WBAC has representatives from the three Shires and employs a part time Executive Officer. The South West Development Commission provides support funding and the Regional Coordinator attends Alliance meetings. The Board meets every two months, rotating its meetings around the three Shires.
